Major research programs

Long-running efforts that connect scientific-agent systems with action, trajectory, and policy representation.

  • 01 · Agentic system · Feb 2026 – present

    SIDERIUS

    A closed-loop agentic system for autonomous research: it proposes, implements, and evaluates machine-learning experiments under real compute budgets. Work spans multi-agent workflow design, online resource control, and reliable long-horizon execution.

  • 02 · Methodology and infrastructure · Jul 2026 – present

    SciTra

    A methodology, and the infrastructure that implements it, for representing what a scientific agent actually did: how a decision trajectory is recorded, and how the action space is defined, so that runs from different agents, tasks, and fields can be read on the same terms. Resource use is one of the quantities that representation makes measurable. None of it is tied to a single benchmark or a single field. Built with approximately 100 scientists across 20+ institutions in collaboration with BenchFlow.

Websites and knowledge resources

  • Benchmark observatory · 2026 – present

    Leaderboard of Benchmarks

    A benchmark of benchmarks. It treats models as probes and compares the evaluation instruments themselves: what capabilities they measure, how their frontiers evolve, how quickly they saturate, how broadly they are covered, and what they cost to run.

  • Living knowledge base · 2026 – present

    Scientific Evaluation Environments

    An interactive, bilingual map of benchmarks for scientific and engineering AI agents. It explains what each evaluation measures, what its results reveal, and which parts of an agent—skills, scaffolds, data, or post-training—could be improved next.

Small tools

Focused tools that remove friction from research and human-agent collaboration without replacing the projects they plug into.

  • Local writing tool · 2026

    PairTeX

    A lightweight review layer for existing LaTeX repositories. It renders a local HTML view for comments and in-place review, records feedback as structured files for any coding agent, and leaves the canonical TeX source and Git workflow unchanged.

  • Agent workflow toolkit · 2026

    Structured Coding

    An installable workflow for planning and executing coding-agent changes one reviewable PR at a time. It connects design agreements, implementation rules, validation evidence, and handoffs so work remains bounded and recoverable across sessions.

Selected research projects

  • XENONnT · Oct 2020 – Feb 2026

    Solar-neutrino measurement

    Bayesian and maximum-likelihood inference for the first measurement of solar pp neutrinos at ultra-low momentum transfer, including calibration, data selection, and Monte Carlo workflows for uncertainty and sensitivity estimation.

  • Nov 2024 – Jun 2025

    Adaptive Neural Processes for Extreme Forecasting

    Probabilistic forecasting under distribution shift and limited observations, with a focus on few-shot adaptation to extreme regimes never seen during training.

  • Jul 2024 – Oct 2024

    Multi-Fidelity Surrogate Modeling for Scientific Simulation

    Learning efficient surrogates for computationally expensive, high-variance detector simulations, combining Gaussian Processes and Neural Processes for rare-event emulation.

    Contributed core algorithms and derivations to the ICLR 2025 Spotlight paper “RESuM” (acknowledged for significant contribution).

Software and scientific infrastructure

  • Maintainer · Jan 2024 – Feb 2026

    strax and straxen

    Open-source data frameworks processing petabyte-scale detector data for 200+ collaborators, with work on ETL performance and memory-efficient processing.
